Birthday Bash..... I made this just for you

How about the sparkle on this card!!

The sequins, the gold, oh my......

We start our card with a Whisper White card base, then add a layer of Bermuda Bay card stock, followed by a layer of the bright, sparkly balloon patterned paper found in the Birthday Bash Specialty Designer Series Paper.

Next, we stamped "I made this just for you because it's your birthday" (from the Balloon Bash Stamp Set) - first in Bermuda Bay ink, then again in Tangelo Twist ink. We fussy-cut the "just for you" with our Paper Snips and layered it on top of the original sentiment.

We also added a Gold Basic Metal Button tied with a Whisper White Baker's Twine bow to this piece.

Finally, we added a strip of Gold Satin Ribbon, along with some Bermuda Bay Sequin Trim behind our sentiment. I like to pull a few sequins off each end to reveal the thread just a bit.
